Europa League and Top-Four Would Be Success, Says Chelsea's David Luiz

David Luiz has claimed Chelsea can still transform a season of near misses into a success by allying a top-four finish – and with it qualification for next term's Champions League – with the club's first triumph in the Europa League.
Defeat by Manchester City in Sunday's FA Cup semi-final denied the European Cup holders a seventh potential trophy this term and leaves their hopes resting solely on Uefa's secondary club competition, a tournament Chelsea had not even entered last summer. Aspirations to defend the Champions League petered out at the group stage and they lost in the final of the Fifa Club World Cup and the semi-finals of the Capital One Cup.
